I just thought of "Say Boss Man," too.

But I voted "Story" anyway and still would. . . .

I think I'll go for Who Do You Love.

"You shoulda heard just what I seen." All these songs are so quotable.

I'm pickin on the basis of a live (official) cassette with a 20 min (?) version of "Bo Didldey"

― Mark G, Monday, 6 August 2007 09:40 (eighteen years ago)

I voted Say Man, but wouldve voted signifying blues or elephant man if given the chance

so many on here worth voting for, and so many not on here also worth voting for, but i'm going with "dearest darling," one of the most haunting, evil, gothy, sexy, celebratory love songs ever recorded. you stole my heart, and now you have my heart, and so you've got two and i've got none, so you better take care of it, baby (that line delivered as half-threat, half-message-of-love), oh and by the way, if i happen to die and make it to heaven before you do, i'm gonna "make a hole and pull you through." 'cause i love you so much i'd kill you, ya know? fucking genius.

You can't judge an apple by looking at a tree,
You can't judge honey by looking at the bee,
You can't judge a daughter by looking at the mother,
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover.

Classic.

Every song on The Gunslinger album

I voted for Hoodoo U. Luv. But despite Diddley's genius lyrics, my fave is "Mumblin' Guitar."

― Kevin John Bozelka, Thursday, 9 August 2007 21:38 (eighteen years ago)
